Hello, I'm Shona - 'Bob and Bee' is just me and my love for illustrating and printing funny little creatures and their worlds.

What do I make? Digital illustrations and Risograph prints inspired by curious little critters, and the wonderful natural world they live in.

Why? Because I want everyone to love these bugs, birds and beasts as much as I do.

My current obsession: The tiny little (unsung) superheroes who decompose the detritus around them. These guys are sometimes slimy, often pretty gross (rotten corpse for lunch, anyone!), and a little wiggly - but all vitally important. And the ones I draw are pretty darn cute! Let's get more slugs, beetles, worms and funny fungi on people's walls. And ignite your curiosity to learn how slugs (and friends) are rocking our world, not just eating your veggie plot. Move over, bees and butterflies* the detritivore crew are coming through! *I'm still a big fan of the pollinators - but they tend to hog the 'wee beasties' limelight!

Thanks for taking the time to check out me and my work.

A doodle of a poodle. High fashion hair or easy maintenance - which doggy hair do, do you prefer? I’m off to Google why on earth they get the fancy haircuts? 🐩 Still drawing dogs and practicing lettering! #matsmini #lettering #dogdrawings
Walkies! Was Barbara Woodhouse a very British thing? Or did she make it further afield? Aaah, eighties telly.... I want to say I spent my weekends watching Knight Rider or The A-Team, but I was probably more into watching a middle-aged woman in a
